Sometimes I feel guilty cause I didnt know X fight was coming up or missed it but then I think, can you really blame me? I'm on the same boat as you so I understand where you're coming from. At this point I'm not sure if I'm here and follow the sport out of just pure habit or if I still feel something for it. At times I tune in to a fight as well and don't even pay attention to it like I used to either.
    My sentiment exactly,like when I come to the forum and read that juanma fight was on saturday..Boxing is not a dying sport,but I can honestly say its dying within me.

      Let's face it. Boxing today is just what promoters and fighters want, not what fans want. It's random. There are no fighters or fights to follow.

        I agree with you..But dont fans pay for their fights and stardom?Shouldn't it be give what the fans want?.
        I remember I used to watch all undercards and and the main fight,no fast forward no nothing,now if there is a decent fight the will put is the main one and/or the undercards is nothing but to showcase an specific fighter.I mean,I remember watching cotto vs delvin rodriguez,or ward vs edwin rodriguez,even Canelo vs Khan and I am thinking what is this.I am not going to lie,I am a fan of brawlers and everytime I am watching those fights I daydream reminiscing carrillo corrales or marquez vasquez and of course barrera morales..Make me want to you tube those fights and forget what I am watching.I am not talking about the style but the excitment is not there,the thrill is gone and it is a feeling everybody have,just look at the bets,when the fight is like 12 to 1,what do you expect?

          What own? You're as garbage as it gets. It would take a lot of effort for someone like you to "own" me and you would still not achieve it. Now crawl back to whatever rat hole you came out of or keep making meaningless posts like you do all day.

              Touché,but it is a fact PBC overpaid certain fighters to fight less than stellar opposition.

                  Keith Thurman will save our beloved sport from the dredges. He's also black but a light-skinned kind of black, which means he'll appeal to both white and black demos.

                    girl, what are you blabbering about. unless you're Beercules' alt, then you shouldn't be following my nuts. Beercules is mad Pac fan... the OP listed why heads aren't talking about Pac anymore...

                    you should know this because you've been following my nuts throughout this thread regarding that..

                      You have posted three times in this thread but have contributed absolutely zero,you are way off topic and haven't even talk about your thoughts on this matter.With all due respect,out of your 3,000+ posts,how many are as deep and objective as the ones you posted here?
